The book with a view to cover up one modern terminology “A Glossary of Agricultural Terminology”, is designed as a glossary for B.Sc. Hons. (Ag.) students and would be of help to those in M.Sc. (Ag.). I have started my sincere effort for past few years. I have tried to make it as up-to-date as possible. I am also aware of the fact that in the first edition of this book, there must be many shortcomings and printing errors. I expect that my fellow colleague teachers and specialists will co-operate with me by sending their valuable suggestions and criticisms which will be thankfully received and will help me in improving the next edition. In this book, various agricultural terminologies have been introduced as the present system of competitive examinations and pedagogy permits. This Agricultural Terminology book will be a vital tool for all those involved in the Agricultural production/agrochemical industry, agricultural scientists, botanists, farmers and besides those studying and teaching in agriculture. The book is written in simple language and even complex concepts have been reduced to easily understandable discussions. The author has attempted to incorporate the recent developments in the field of agriculture without sacrificing the simplicity of language and style
